agree with you. to give us a beta device and then tell users that we should 'file a bug' for their bad work is unacceptable.

Agree with you there, ysss, but also no other device is so not-suitable for the mass market. The way I look at it: You get some pretty decent hardware, with some pretty decent OS and after that it's up to the user if he bumps into problems. At least, that's the background thought I had when I bought the machine. And so far, I'm loving it.
So: It's not an annoyance that he says it's a simple thing to do right, it's an annoyance that he complains about it while he should've solved it, one way or another, id est, if it really is that simple an issue as he claims.
I use tracker-cfg and it works reasonably well, allowing me to hide folders from the tracker and such things from a GUI.
Slightly OT: Wasn't the improved indexer one of the selling points for Vista at the time?

Nothing I think.
You can remove (or better rename) thumbnailer daemon.
You will not see image thumbnails anymore.
But the best you can do maybe is create some scripts to launch image-viewer and file manager launchers and run this daemon before start, and kill the process when you close those programs. Then modify the .desktop launchers to run those scripts.
I didn't try this but I think it's possible

Then after all those hurdles, it was discouraging to see all the WONTFIX (just because) and fixed in Harmattan (next device when n900 was just out the door!). And most of those can not be fixed by the community because of closed source.

N900 could be the best, but there little stupid things that makes it the best one day and the worst the other...
Android is no prize either, but its more constant...
Hope Meego will be less amateur..
